September 24, 1935, marked the centenary of Bellini's death at the age of thirty-four. Bellini was a Sicilian. He studied at the Naples Conservatoire, where he met Donizetti and Mercadante, who were fellow students. In 1825, while still at the Conservatoire, Bellini's first opera, Adelson e Salvina, was produced. Among the audience was the manager of La Scala, Milan, and of San Carlo, Naples, who immediately commissioned the young composer to write an opera for Naples. In the following year Bellini finished Bianca e Fernando, which scored a greatX success with the Neapolitan public. This was the beginning of a brilliant career, for his operas earned international fame, three of the most outstanding being La Sonnambula, I Puritani, and Norma, which were all once very popular in England. The chief characteristic of Bellini's music is the limpidity and lyrical charm of its melodies. As a melodist Bellini is considered by many critics to be one of the greatest of all times.
Delibes, who had enjoyed many years of almost unchallenged eminence as a composer of ballets and similar light music for the stage, was also ambitious to write grand opera. Two important operas came from his pen-Lakmé and Kassya-both of which were written for the Paris opera. Delibes was at work on Kassya when he died. It was finished by Massenet and first produced in 1891. One of Dvorak's greatest admirers was Brahms, who was one of the first in Germany to recognise the genius of the Czech composer. And it was due to Brahms's influence that Dvorak's music was first published and performed in Germany. Dvorak was no less an admirer of Brahms, and his orchestration of Brahms's Hungarian Dances, originally written for piano duet, bears testimony to this fact. No doubt it was the folk element in this charming series of dances that particularly attracted Dvorak, who was, of course, himself an ardent composer of national music. Brahms was usually restrained and inclined towards austerity in his use of the orchestral palette, while Dvorak was precisely the opposite. The latter's genius in handling the orchestra is well shown in his orchestral versions of the Brahms Hungarian Dances that will be heard this morning.

' In a Monastery in the Middle Ages a dramatic interlude by HUGH Ross WILLIAMSON
Many great men of the Middle Ages found that life was cruel and savage, and that war was destroying the things they cared for. So they shut themselves away from the world in monasteries-in little societies of their own where they lived according to rules which they believed would please God.
This afternoon you are going to hear about the life of one of the greatest of these monks-St. Bernard -and his monastery at Clairvaux. A man who knew him wrote: his face was radiant with a light not of earth but of heaven '.

Broadcast transmitters send out waves through the ether. These waves have a comparatively long wavelength. Your wireless set detects these waves of the ether and turns them into waves in the air.
The sun, lamps, and very hot things also send out waves in the ether, but these waves have a very short wavelength. Your eyes detect these waves and, with the help of the brain, turn them into light and colour. In this way we learn about the shape, size, and colour of things at a distance from our bodies.
